[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. [b]We have a simple test which has a 75% success rate as a filter. We ask which editor the candidate prefers. Either vi or emacs are passing answers.[/b] Eclipse or other IDEs are not.

Another good test is which debugger they prefer. Passing answers are gdb or the debugger in llvm. Any IDE is not. [/quote]

You can't be serious, LOL.... Any CS students who do not use vi or emacs editor doesn't deserve to continue the interview....  These days Linux OS is everywhere, and vi/emacs is included as default.

Actually anyone who uses vi or emacs would be flagged as old and outdated and would need to learn how to use vscode and the debugger.[/quote]

We would hire the person using emacs/vi and not someone who wants vscode or eclipse or some other IDE.  If folks want to focus on an IDE, that's fine, but we would not hire.

For openers, we are not using Windows or developing an app for Windows. Our development target is an embedded system and the developers use UNIX/Linux with a cross-compiler. We have to pay above market salaries, because not so many new grads have the skills to work on embedded systems. There is real long-term job security in taking the harder CS/ComputerE electives.
